Snippets of Melbourne

Melbourne. Been there and back, and missing it greatly.

It's a great place to have fun-filled family activities and outings, but the best thing we like about Melbourne is its people's warmth and hospitality. We felt very welcome right from the start, and we have Kak Tan & Family, Hasbi & Family, Cik Azman & Family, Faisal & Family, Tony & Katie and Jim & The girls to thank for all the wonderful help. Hope to see you guys again someday, and do look us up if you come over to Singapore...

Meanwhile, here are snippets of our month long Melbourne experience. Do visit our photoalbum for more pics.

It's nice huh to spend some time once in awhile at a place where the pace of life is not as hectic and crazy as that of Singapore's, allows for real family time and bonding :-)
